After extending Matt Duchene on Thursday, the Dallas Stars needed to make the cap space to make other moves, so they went to work immediately and found a new home for Mason Marchment with the Seattle Kraken. Marchment underperformed in the playoffs with only five points in 18 games, so he felt like an expendable option for the Stars to move, even if they didn’t want to. Frank Seravalli and Tyler Yaremchuk talked about the winner and loser of the Marchment trade on Daily Faceoff Live.
